Full description
From the effervescence of sparkling wines to the body of reds. If you’re a true lover of Tuscan wine, this is the tasting for you!
Visit Castello di Bossi in Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the heart of Chianti, and take a seat for a guided tasting of four glasses in the estate’s cosy wine bar.
An exclusive food and wine experience, complemented by a delicious platter of bruschetta, cured meats and local cheeses!
What we will do
The tour takes place at the selected time at Castello di Bossi in Castelnuovo Berardenga (SI), set in the stunning Chianti countryside. You will be met by your guide, who will welcome you with a refreshing glass of flavoured water before leading you on a tour of the estate.
You’ll begin with a tour of the historic cellar, a fascinating journey rich in historical insights into the property’s 15th- and 16th-century heritage, which is directly linked to the wines produced there. You’ll also admire the majestic tower dating from 1099 and the historic courtyard decorated with the family crests. During the walk, you’ll get a close-up view of the barrels where the Chianti Riserva is aged and stroll through the rear of the castle, between the lemon house and the splendid vineyards of the Gran Selezione.
Once the tour is over, you’ll take your seats to begin your private guided tasting. It will be a journey ‘from sparkling to red’, during which you’ll sample four selected glasses of wine :
- 1 glass of Barbaione sparkling wine
- 1 glass of Vento Vermentino
- 1 glass of Piano Piano rosé
- 1 glass of Chianti Classico red
The commentary will be tailored to your level of interest, ranging from a simple introduction to a more technical focus.
The wines will be expertly paired with our own olive oil and a local platter featuring bruschetta, cured meats and selected cheeses.
The experience will last approximately 2 hours in total .
